I just read allegations on Derry. Hitches page about Peter Brock beating the crap out of his wife, at least one of them. I’ve never heard this before. I feel like I just got gut punched by Ali.
There's a documentary coming out.

His first wife apparently raised allegations of domestic violence. It was well known at the time, when he went to BMW for a short time the joke was BMW stood for Beat My Wife. At least the allegations were well known.

Bev, the second wife, reckons she never saw any of that from him over 30 years.

Bev was his third partner but they were never married.

She has always stood by him.

I’m just gutted,

Oh sorry but yes it’s true he was a woman beater and a terrible sleaze and root rat - and I loved him at the time he taught me to drive - my beau at the times father was GMH racing and I spent many a year at Bathurst. He used to often do the rude thing out the back of the pit garage with all too willing groupies :(

He wasn’t a nice man - hell of a driver - but a nasty human!

I was young innocent, and only 17 when I met him, and wearing service garage overalls, probably a good thing by the sound of it!

Please tell me Bruce Willis is a nice guy!

I have very almost no understanding of what it’s like to be sleazed on like a woman, getting leered at, touched, groped .... just shocking.

Back in the late 1970’s when I was in my early 20’s I was in an awkward situation with a male where I was being propositioned and had to leave quickly. That was the most uncomfortable I’ve been.
